Easter Baskets everybody Will Love

When my brothers and I were children, Easter was all the time a favorite holiday. Getting up in the morning to find a basket stuffed with candy, small toys, and sometimes even a slight money, was so much fun! Hollow chocolate eggs filled with jelly beans, homemade peanut butter eggs purchased from our church's ladies auxiliary, slight plastic chickens that would lay a jelly bean "egg" when you pressed on their backs were just a few of the things we loved about Easter Baskets.

But the joys of Easter Baskets are not slight to children. Adults love them too! And since you can put such a large variety of items in a basket, you can make or buy Easter Baskets that are excellent for just about everyone!

Gourmet Baskets

Baskets for Children

Let's face it, an Easter Basket wouldn't be the same without candy. But if your child naturally cannot have all the sugar, there are alternatives, such as sugar free candies and dried fruit. Children also love small stuffed animals, card games, puzzle books, kazoos, silly string, crayons, paddle ball, finger paints, and Silly Bandz. You might also try age acceptable lip gloss and nail polish for girls, and toy cars and Bakugan for boys. Don't forget to line the baskets with "grass" and embellish with colorful ribbons!

Baskets for Adults

The basket options for adults is slight only by your imagination and your budget. Theme baskets are especially fun, and you can make or buy one to satisfy just about any adult. Try a "movie night" theme with some microwave popcorn, theater style candy, a bottle of soda, and a Dvd or two. A "spa" theme might include a terrycloth robe, a pedicure kit, a sea salt scrub, and some nail polish. For the man in your life, you might try stuffing the basket with things like a silk tie, a wristwatch, cologne, small electronics, and office supplies.

Gourmet baskets are all the time appreciated and are ready in many varieties, or you can make your own. Luxury chocolates, wines and liquors, Artisan breads and cheeses, extra premium fruits, nuts, and baked goods are just a few ideas.

Whether you buy them, or make them up yourself, giving an Easter Basket is an exciting, fun tradition that can be handed down straight through the years from parent to child. Every person feels special when they receive it. And you will be especially appreciated for giving it!
